Q:

Puzzle : Blueberries and Cups

Maria have some blueberries and some cups. If she put 9 blueberries into each cup she will have two cups left. If she put 6 blueberries into each cup she will have three blueberries left over.

Answer

The number of blueberries is equal to number of cups multiplied by 4 minus one left.


That is :


      B = 9(C - 2) -> (1)


Then the number of blueberries will be equal to the number of cups times three plus one left.


That is :


      B = 6C + 3 -> (2)


Now substitute the 1st and 2nd equations:


      B = 9(C - 2)


      B = 6C + 3


      C = 7, B = 45.


Therefore Blueberries = 45 and cups = 7.

Q:

What is the oxidation number of carbon in NaHCO3?

A) -4 B) -3
C) +4 D) +2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) +4

Explanation:

The given compound is NaHCO3 Sodium bicarbonate which is commonly known as Baking soda.

Oxidation numbers are the charges on ions. When a neutral atom loses electrons it becomes positively charged. When a neutral atom gains electrons it becomes negatively charged.

 

Here the C represents the oxidation state of carbon in this compound. Compounds are electrically neutral, which is why we set the sum of the oxidation states equal to zero.

Sodium has a +1 oxidation state. Hydrogen has a +1 oxidation state. Oxygen has a -2 oxidation state. There are three oxygen atoms, which means the total oxidation state provided by both oxygen ions is -6. Adding up these oxidation states we get:

1 + 1 + (-6) + C = 0

-4 + C = 0

=> C = 4


This means the oxidation state of carbon in this compound is +4.
